The abrupt resignation of Mick van Wely as a journalist at De Telegraaf also means his departure from news of the day, the eve evening show of SBS 6. “Incredibly stupid, isn’t it?”, A colleague says.
Mick van Wely was immediately dismissed by De Telegraaf after a discovery by Juicekanaal Reality FBI. For the second time he was guilty of sexual cross -border behavior, this time towards a source. “With this gross violation, he does not meet the norms and values that De Telegraaf expects from his journalists.”
Inappropriate apps
Reality FBI reported last week that a woman contacted Mick in July to bring a sensitive business to the attention. Her sister was murdered with forty knife stabs in the past, the perpetrator was in prison for six years and would later even work at the place where he had been detained. Mick was approached to get this to the attention.
However, Mick sought more than just a substantive conversation in that contact. In app traffic that the channel entered, he would have sought tension with the emotionally vulnerable woman, with reports about attraction, sex and ‘truth or dare’. He would also have suggested to meet, although according to the page that has not yet happened.
“How is it possible?!”
It is not the first time that Mick has been discredited, because he was already suspended in 2022 after reporting seven women about inappropriate behavior. He was given sanctions, was allowed to go back to work, but now that is coming to an end. “You really wonder: how is that possible?” Says show connoisseur Bart Ettekoven in Shownieuws.
Colleague Eline de Ruig: “Incredibly stupid, right?”
BN’er photographer William Rutten: “Yes, what do you inspire?”
Magnifying glass
Eline is not possible with her cap. “You know that you are under a magnifying glass and then you still do it.”
Bart: “Well, in particular because it is about vulnerable people. This lady too. Her sister was murdered and she is looking for contact with someone from the press to denounce an abuse. Those are vulnerable people and if you are going to feed weird chats that are really not appropriate in the field of work, then you really ask yourself: how can it go so wrong?”
Road at SBS 6
Micky is also out of news of the day, the eve evening show of SBS 6. Bart: “He was always a welcome guest at various tables. The end at De Telegraaf naturally also automatically means the end of news of the day, because he was there on behalf of De Telegraaf.”
The editor -in -chief of that program says: “Mick joins the day in News of the Day on behalf of De Telegraaf and because this program is a collaboration, we naturally follow the decision of the editorial action of De Telegraaf.”
